A thermodynamic description of transient heat conduction at small length and timescales is proposed. It is based on extended irreversible thermodynamics and the main feature of this formalism is to ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A theoretical treatment is given for the action of the guarded hot plate apparatus used for measuring conductivities. The flow of heat through ...

Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to ...
